auburn ca: Mel's Diner to open in June in Auburn, CA - 05/23/10 12:41 PM
Mel's Diner will be opening in June, hopefully in time for Cruise Night the second Friday in June.  Eventually it will be an addition to a very short list of resturants or late night haunts that is open after 10 PM with a goal of being 24/7 in July.  Mel's Diner is on the corner of Hwy 49 and Luther Rd. with access only off of 49.
